irregularity in the jury com missioner's office which resulted in the in dictment of jury commissioners john j holland willis j rayburn and nicholas martin who wcre subsequently acquitted were found to be unsustained in a ma jority report of the special investigating committee of three judges submitted yes terday the majority report unanimously adopted by the judges also held that the charge of conspiracy against holland was unfounded and that there was no evidence which tend ed either to support it or to question his integrity respecting the matter involved he was ordered reinstated to his position as he was suspended at his own request until the charges could be investigated the majority report was submitted by judges albert c barnes and lockwood honore while a minority report was signed b.v judge lewis rinaker the essential difference in the report submitted by judge rinaker was that he held that a jury list had not been made out every four years as required by law judges barnes and honore held that it had been made every year the majority report ends with certain suggestions one of these is that here after quadrennial periods be observed so that no eligible persons shall be deemed exempt from jury service a second time except during the period in which he is selected another suggestion is thnt no jury tickets be kept out of the jury boxes when prepared therefor but that all be placed therein as soon as the names selected are written thereon and if necessary that larger jury boxes be procured judge rinaker in his report also found that there had been departures from the requirement of the statutes as to the pro viding for a book or books upon which shall be entered the hame of each person ou the jury list together with certain in formation concerning the same and as to the preparation of a list of the names or jurors drawn for the service judge rinaker in his report also found thnt while there was uo evidence proving or tending to prove that the jury commis soioners knew of any substitution of names of jurors or of any improper acts as to the putting iu or of the taking out of the jury boxes or out of the so-called books any cards of jurors yet in his opinion there could be and should be means provided by whioh the possibility of such substitution or elimination of names would be prevented tenor who sued victim and who profits by

irregularity in the jury com missioner's office which resulted in the in dictment of jury commissioners john j holland willis j rayburn and nicholas martin who wcre subsequently acquitted were found to be unsustained in a ma jority report of the special investigating committee of three judges submitted yes terday the majority report unanimously adopted by the judges also held that the charge of

position as he was suspended at his own request until the charges could be investigated the majority report was submitted by judges albert c barnes and lockwood honore while a minority report was signed b.v judge lewis rinaker the essential difference in the report submitted by judge rinaker was that he held that a jury list had not been made out every four years as required by law judges barnes and honore held that it had been made every year the majority report ends with certain suggestions one of these is that here after quadrennial periods be observed so that no eligible persons shall be deemed exempt from jury service a second time except during the period in which he is selected another suggestion is thnt no jury tickets be kept out of the jury boxes when prepared therefor but that all be placed therein as soon as the names selected are written thereon and if necessary that larger jury boxes be procured judge rinaker in his report also found that there had been departures from the requirement of the statutes as to the pro viding for a book or books upon which shall be entered the hame of each person ou the jury list together with certain in formation concerning the same and as to the preparation of a list of the names or jurors drawn for the service judge rinaker in his report also found thnt while there was uo evidence proving or tending to prove that the jury commis soioners knew of any substitution of names of jurors or of any improper acts as to the putting iu or of the taking out of the jury boxes or out of the so-called books any cards of
